Ohio lawsuit...Judge rules 17 Year olds can vote in Primary!
http://www.wtsp.com/news/politics/judge-17-year-olds-ok-to-vote-in-ohio-primary/78133836COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio judge has granted a request to let 17-year-olds vote in the swing state's presidential primary.
Ohio allows 17-year-olds who will be 18 before the fall election to vote in Tuesday's primary, with some limits. For instance, they can't vote on ballot issues, but can decide on congressional, legislative and mayoral contenders.
Whether the teens can vote in the presidential primary race had been under dispute.
The state's Republican elections chief had said Ohio rules don't permit it. He says the 17-year-olds can only nominate candidates, and not "elect" delegates to a presidential nominating convention.<snip>

Looks like he is 2 and 0 given the DWS BS over the 'data breach'. What voter suppression?
